I don’t know what’s wrong with me but it has become apparent that I am addicted to shitty T.V. The cold months of winter have kept me indoors and watching some of the most mindless and numbing television that exists. I am honestly one episode of America’s Next Top Model away from ending up on AE’s Intervention. In the past month I’ve found myself watching the over-hyped Oscars, religiously following The Biggest Loser and even live tweeting the events of The Bachelor finale. To top it all off, I watched The Roast of Donald Trump on the weekend featuring “The Situation” from Jersey Shore as one of the roasters.

I will admit up front that watching Jersey Shore is also part of my addiction. That said, I do find the odd episode to be outrageously funny. The MVP combo of Mike, Vinny, and Paulie are typically the driving force behind the laughs on the show but after watching Mike (aka “The Situation”) attempt comedy during The Roast of Donald Trump I think it is pretty evident that the cast of Jersey Shore are funny because they are the joke not because they make good jokes.

Warning: This video will make your skin crawl with second hand embarrassment.
